When Payne Stewart out-putted Phil Mickelson down the stretch to claim the 1999 US Open at Pinehurst, he did it with a SeeMore. Since then SeeMore has stayed a household name among boutique putter companies, and SeeMore counts three major championships among the wins its putters have been used for: Stewart at Pinehurst, then Zach Johnson at the 2007 Masters and the 2015 Open Championship. This review is about one head in the Nashville Studio family, the mFGP Blade, a slightly oversize blade with a straight shaft and full toe hang. If you struggle with alignment or you just like the feel of a milled face, that is the head this page is about.
Key Features
- RifleScope Alignment Technology allows players to set up square to the line every time.
- The precision-milled face, made of the most expensive grade 303 stainless steel, provides a soft feel and responsiveness upon ball impact.
- Straight shaft with full toe hang, and a proprietary GunMetal finish on the Nashville Studio series.
Design and Technology
Every SeeMore model carries the company’s patented RifleScope Technology, the alignment system SeeMore builds the whole putter around, and the instruction that goes with it is as simple as golf gets: hide the red dot. That reference point is there to solve alignment problems at setup rather than in your stroke. The Nashville Studio mFGP Blade is milled 100 percent in the USA, which is where the feel and the price both come from.
RifleScope Alignment Technology has been a trademark of Seemore putters since the beginning. A distinct gun site allows players to use the black lower portion of the shaft to cover a single red dot on the heel of the top line. Two parallel white lines on either side of the red dot create a frame that highlights the shaft, giving the player added confidence that the head is square to the start line.
Plenty of putter makers use 303 stainless steel. SeeMore specifies the most expensive grade of USA-made 303 stainless for this head and mills it entirely in the USA, then finishes the Nashville Studio series in a proprietary GunMetal. The company’s own claim for that combination is feel, consistency and roll rather than any number on a spec sheet.
The mFGP Blade is a completely original head rather than a copy of someone else’s blade, and it is deliberately slightly oversize. SeeMore’s stated reason for the extra size is feel, forgiveness and feedback, which is the trade a blade player normally gives up to a mallet.
Specs
The mFGP Blade has several setup options. SeeMore’s own configurator for the Nashville mFGP Blade has you choose the shaft, the length, the lie, the grip and the headcover for your setup, with two optional extras: an adjusted head weight and a TourLock counterbalance kit with interchangeable grip weights. The head itself is 100 percent 303 stainless milled in the USA, straight shaft, full toe hang, balanced to the plane, in the GunMetal finish, listed under SKU P1125S.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SeeMore Nashville mFGP Blade known for?
The Nashville mFGP Blade is built around SeeMore’s patented RifleScope Technology (RST), the red-dot-and-two-white-lines reference that tells you the head is square before you start the stroke. SeeMore’s instruction for it is to hide the red dot with the lower shaft.
What materials are used in the Nashville mFGP Blade?
The head is the most expensive grade of USA-made 303 stainless steel, milled 100 percent in the USA, finished in SeeMore’s proprietary GunMetal. SeeMore’s stated aim for that build is feel, consistency and roll.
What customization options come with the Nashville mFGP Blade?
The mFGP Blade is configured before it ships: shaft, length, lie, grip and headcover are all chosen at order, and SeeMore lists two optional extras, an adjusted head weight and a TourLock counterbalance kit with interchangeable grip weights.
How does the RifleScope Alignment Technology (RST) work?
The RST uses a unique “gun sight” alignment system on the top of the putter head with a red dot flanked by two white parallel lines and the lower shaft to help golfers achieve perfect alignment visually.
What putting stroke benefits does the Nashville mFGP blade model offer?
The Nashville mFGP blade model is face balanced at impact (balanced to the plane), dynamically balanced throughout the stroke to help putters naturally return square at impact with less manipulation during the stroke.
Conclusion: Seemore Nashville Putter Review
What you are buying here is a USA-milled 303 stainless blade with SeeMore’s true alignment reference built into the top line, a straight shaft and full toe hang, balanced to the plane so the face returns to square with less help from you. If you want a blade you aim rather than steer, this is one to roll before you commit.
